Dan & Clancy's Roadtrip: Sequoia National Park to Las Vegas

July 2009

With a weekend off during our Defense Science Study Group trip, Clancy and I resolved to go hiking, so we spent two days in Sequoia National Park (wherein I managed to get altitude sickness at 9000 ft.) and then drove to Vegas (wherein we wandered around the Strip for a while, then hustled back to make the 7am bus pickup).

Any tree that's this old (well over 1000 years) will have seen a number of fires. Sequoias evolved to survive, no sweat. (P1020269)
